Digital Mental Health Coaching in Clinically Diverse Populations: Controlled Engagement and Outcomes Study

Digital Mental Health Coaching in Clinically Diverse Populations: Controlled Engagement and Outcomes Study

Users completed the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (short version; DASS-21) [21] twice via an in-app, self-report questionnaire. The DASS-21 is a well-validated [22-24] measure comprising 3 scales, each with 7 items. Item responses were summed to create continuous scores of depression, anxiety, and stress symptom severity; higher scores indicated greater severity.

Assessing Minority Stress and Physiological Response Through Ecological Momentary Assessment and Sensors: Protocol for a Feasibility and Acceptability of the Stress and Heart Pilot Study

Assessing Minority Stress and Physiological Response Through Ecological Momentary Assessment and Sensors: Protocol for a Feasibility and Acceptability of the Stress and Heart Pilot Study

For example, Akbar et al [45], using a wrist-worn smartwatch, observed that HRV-derived stress peaks corresponded with self-reported stress during work and after-hours EHR tasks, and Martinez et al [47] reported that HRV features were significantly but weakly associated with perceived stress. Kim et al [46], using a chest-strap sensor, demonstrated a bidirectional pattern, where lower HRV predicted higher perceived stress, and stress predicted HRV decreases within 10 minutes.

The National Study of Daily Experiences: Protocol for Assessments of Daily Stress, Well-Being, Health, and Salivary Biomarkers in a Longitudinal Cohort

The National Study of Daily Experiences: Protocol for Assessments of Daily Stress, Well-Being, Health, and Salivary Biomarkers in a Longitudinal Cohort

Key to this innovation was focusing on stress in daily life [2] and how it contributed to health, well-being, and aging. Prior research on stress in adulthood focused primarily on major life events (eg, marriage, bereavement, and retirement) and their impacts on health and well-being [3]. In contrast, daily stressors (eg, minor everyday conflicts or irritations) [4,5] received much less attention but offered considerable promise for understanding contextual factors impacting life as it is lived.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Multimodal Learning Using Computer-Based and Immersive Virtual Reality Simulation–Based Interprofessional Education With Co-Debriefing, Medical Movies, and Massive Online Open Courses for Mitigating Stress and Long-Term Burnout in Medical Training: Quasi-Experimental Study

Comparing the Effectiveness of Multimodal Learning Using Computer-Based and Immersive Virtual Reality Simulation–Based Interprofessional Education With Co-Debriefing, Medical Movies, and Massive Online Open Courses for Mitigating Stress and Long-Term Burnout in Medical Training: Quasi-Experimental Study

The psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic extended beyond burnout, encompassing a wide range of adverse mental health outcomes, including stress, anxiety, depression, inadequate sleep, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, and secondary trauma [10]. Anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout levels were notably higher among physicians and nurses than in other health care roles, consistent with findings from other systematic reviews [9,11].

Development of a Recommendation Engine to University Student Mental Health Support Aligned With Stepped Care: Longitudinal Cohort Study

Development of a Recommendation Engine to University Student Mental Health Support Aligned With Stepped Care: Longitudinal Cohort Study

The specific subset of variables used in this study, defined in conjunction with the study clinicians, includes recreational drug use and binge drinking (Table 1), symptoms of depression (PHQ-9) [23], anxiety (GAD-7) [24], personal and familial history of mental illness, adverse childhood experiences, suicidal thoughts and behaviors and self-harm (Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale, C-SSRS [25]), and self-perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale–4 [PSS-4]) (Table 2).

Changing Trends in Suicidal Ideation and Its Influencing Factors During the Transition From Quarantine to Post-Quarantine Among Chinese University Students During the COVID-19 Surge: Six-Wave Panel Study

Changing Trends in Suicidal Ideation and Its Influencing Factors During the Transition From Quarantine to Post-Quarantine Among Chinese University Students During the COVID-19 Surge: Six-Wave Panel Study

When individuals are confronted with intense and prolonged uncertainty stress, it can have detrimental effects on their mental and behavioral well-being [18]. The COVID-19 pandemic is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, as it emerged suddenly, spread rapidly, and then declined abruptly. These factors contribute to a significant level of uncertainty stress.

The study also reported a significant increase in subjectively recorded stress levels during the clinical period; however, it did not assess the association between mean HR and subjective stress directly [33].

Exploring the Impact of Home-Based Serious Smartphone Resuscitation Gaming on Stress Among Nursing Students Practicing Simulated Adult Basic Life Support: Randomized Waitlist Controlled Trial

Exploring the Impact of Home-Based Serious Smartphone Resuscitation Gaming on Stress Among Nursing Students Practicing Simulated Adult Basic Life Support: Randomized Waitlist Controlled Trial

We used physiological metrics (EDA, BT, and HR) to measure stress levels, implementing the pretrained random forest classifier, one of the most widely used machine learning techniques [50], and was developed by Hosseini et al [33]. The classifier was trained on the Affective Road dataset [51], optimized through grid search and cross-validation, and categorized stress into three levels: 0 (no stress), 1 (moderate stress), and 2 (high stress).

Supporting Police Well-Being Through an Adaptive Shift Management System: Co-Design Study

Supporting Police Well-Being Through an Adaptive Shift Management System: Co-Design Study

These stressors often lead to high rates of psychological stress, including anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder [2]. High levels of stress among police officers have been linked to poor sleep quality, fatigue, malnutrition, long-term physical disabilities, sedentary lifestyles, impaired cognitive function, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, poor work-life balance, less family time, and mental health issues [3].
